Breaker & Switchgear Testing
Testing of breakers and switchgear is a key way to prevent unplanned system downtime, and often times required by insurers. This is of even more importance with modern digital trip units that often times have more unpredictable failure modes.
DES keeps equipment in-house for the testing of most breakers and switchgear, including portable primary current injection.
Typical Deliverables Include:
- A Site Walkdown by a Licensed Engineer
- Testing of Breakers and Switchgear
- Written Report Documenting Testing (Sealed)
- Unbiased Advice on any Findings. We do not upsell unneeded system upgrades or systems.
